Level at Zoox and Amazon stock & Zar break down?

Amazon iVYV32 OP Aug 3, 2023

Still waiting for exact break down

You get Amazon RSU for Zoox as well right? Also I take the ZARS projection that the recruiter give you with a grain of salt. It’s nice to have but don’t count the projection as part of your TC

Don’t count it *at all* or just discount it? I get it’s a crapshoot but needs to have some value. Maybe assume a low ROI or is there a chance it goes down/doesn’t grow at all?

I would assume minimal increase from the number that recruiters gave you

What's your YOE if you don't mind me asking

Amazon iVYV32 OP Aug 3, 2023

12

Zoox 👑 James Aug 3, 2023

12 YOE should be L5 at least. Seems like a low offer for L5

Zoox TC doesn't add up.. end of year 1 Amazon RSU vesting is 20% of total RSU offering.. there's no way they are giving you 400k worth of Amazon RSU in total.

I think he is adding up the ZARS projections that the recruiter gave him

I am currently under consideration for a similar role at Lucid. Can I DM you for a referral at Zoox? I heard the wlb is better comparatively.

Audible is not even close to Zoox in numbers or the excitement of the product. What exactly is your question?

Medtronic vhEp11 Aug 11, 2023

Should the zars be not taken into account at all at current price or projected price for next few years ?

Zoox lokijuhygt Aug 11, 2023

As with any pre revenue company, in a cutting edge solution space - there is risk. I am bullish about the long term. Just make sure it makes sense on cash aspects in short term

Zoox lokijuhygt Aug 18, 2023

What did you decide?

Zoox uKul06 Aug 20, 2023

Based on recent ZAR news I would advise not accounting for them in your TC.
